Concerns about knees
Studies show that with obese patients that were taking up
running and walking, it was found that those that had problems with
arthritis had it and those who didn't did not; running did not affect
it one way or another in healthy runners.
The knee pains that you are experiencing more likely come from increasing your
mileage too sharply and from doing so in shoes that were ready for
retirement. You have to build up your long runs gradually or they will
cause you some pain - in the feet, in the hips, in the knees, in the
lower back and every other involved part that has not been gradually
brought along.
